What the items mean

ICR
Insulin-to-carb ratio: grams of carbohydrate theoretically covered by one unit.
ISF
Insulin sensitivity factor: the modeled glucose drop from one unit.
Target BG
The glucose target used when calculating a theoretical correction.
Calculation cap
A ceiling that stops the simulation from displaying an unusually large total.
FPU adjustment
The percentage of the full theoretical Warsaw fat-and-protein amount included.
Current BG
The glucose value at the time the strategy is being modeled.
IOB
Insulin on board: active insulin from earlier doses, subtracted from the meal wave.
BG trend
Direction of glucose movement; falling trends reduce the meal wave and change timing.
Pre-bolus
Selected minutes before eating. The small marker shows the site formula's modeled timing.
Meal wave
Carb dose plus correction, minus IOB, with any falling-trend reduction applied.
FPU
Fat-Protein Unit: 100 kcal from fat and protein, treated by this Warsaw model like a delayed 10 g carbohydrate effect.
Warsaw wave
The adjusted theoretical fat-and-protein amount, spread over 3–8 hours based on FPUs.
Delivery comparison
The dashed glucose line models the same total insulin given upfront instead of extending the Warsaw amount. The shaded gap shows the timing difference, not a dosing recommendation.
Illustrative glucose
A modeled curve for comparing timing; it is not a CGM prediction or measured result.
Activity curves
Relative shapes showing when meal absorption, delayed effects, insulin action, and prior IOB overlap.
